They write what their readers want to read in the name of selling more copies!. No cigar as far as legitimate proof!.
It should be noted that on page 27 of the USDA proposed draft for NAIS it states:
Reporting Animal Movement/Sightings
Records that provide animal location and movements would be received from various sectors of the industry (producers, animal health officials, service providers, markets, and slaughter plants). Such input would be obtained through the integration of the AIN/Animal Transaction file.

NOTE: USDA removed original NAIS doc from Internet after farmers started using it as a reference.
“...Vet came out this year, and “V” was in the house. By the time she met the vet in the barn, she was... um... astonished to see him taking pictures of the horses, the dogs and the property.

USDA Identified as Terrorists
This morning we got the following comment on the article “VT Premises ID Killed”:
Thanks Vermont, for opening an avenue for those that wish to use animal diseases as a bio-eco-terrorism tool. We would have tried to start along the SW border but that’s now just to obvious. Thanks! We’ll take the NE corner and work our way in that way.

I called the OrgAbusePhone number and after some transferring around I got to Ron Glen who was able to help me. With a little investigating he was able to identify where this IP address, and thus the comment, hail from.
I’ve known for a long time that various people at the USDA and state ag agencies are regularly reading NoNAIS.org. Some dialog is good - they need to hear our objections to NAIS. But apparently the USDA, or someone at the USDA, is feeling some pain. Now they are threatening to do terrorism in order to justify NAIS. This makes the USDA an agency that claims to both protect us and to terrorize us. But then is that really news?
Note to the USDA commenter: IP addresses are recorded, you have been tagged and your movements are being tracked online. Being a good citizen I have reported this threat of terrorism.
Cheers,

Update 8/28/06 1:11 pm - Barbara Weiss from the USDA Duty Officer contacted me by phone to get a copy of the original comment with headers so their security team can investigate. Sent.
Update 8/29/06 10:55 pm - Message from the USDA states that they are “cooperating with the Office of Inspector General, the Law Enforcement arm of USDA to investigate this further and bring this situation to resolution.”
Update 8/30/06 12:41 am - Looking back through my old comments logs I ran across the same IP address on another comment. The commenter used a different name and email address that time. Again it was identified as coming from the same offices of the USDA. Apparently officials from the USDA have left comments before, possibly thinking they were anonymous.
Googling about a bit I found this interesting web page. This doesn’t prove that he has anything to do with the comment that started this discussion. He just works for the USDA, APHIS and has the same IP address. Maybe he used someone else’s computer or someone uses his. Maybe they are dynamically allotting IP addresses within their network. A little Googling of his name and NAIS gives this and this. Certainly that isn’t enough to hang a man ’round these parts.
Looking through my web server log files I find many pages served to our good friend at IP:168.68.129.127 beginning back in February of 2006. Obviously our USDA visitor is a loyal reader of NoNAIS.org. He is very busy keeping up with not just posts here but also on other anti-NAIS web sites like Henwhisperer’s as noted in the comments. It would be interesting for the other web sites to look through their log files and see what they find. With all the time he spends reading our web sites one must wonder when he ever has time to get his work done that he’s being paid for by the USDA - our tax dollars. Hmm… Perhaps what he is doing is his job…
Update 10/2/06 3:08 pm - Still no word back from the USDA or the FBI on our little terrorist friend at IP:168.68.129.127 at the USDA offices. I have sent queries but gotten no response. I guess asking the fox to investigate the fox den wasn’t such a hot idea. Same for Wile E. Coyote who appears to be in cahoots with the fox.
Update 10/4/06 12:53 pm - See this comment from donna about a letter from her senator regarding the investigation. Details to follow soon I hope.
Update 10/21/06 - See new article with update and letter from Senator Conrad.
The source is Walter Jeffries. He owns the blog where the Disinfo agent struck.
You have quoted newspapers as a source & a letter from a senator to constituent!. Firstly politicians want votes they will tell their voters anything they want to hear to get their vote! Secondly Journalists from any source are hardly credible. They write what their readers want to read in the name of selling more copies!. No cigar as far as legitimate proof!.
So exactly what will you accept as proof..?? Does God have to tell you or are you also an atheist?

Antics! Hmmmm I am just trying to "deny ignorance" with concrete & real proof! Not some blog owner, politician addressing a constituent or a gut feeling! Real proof If you don't like it refer it to the mods! Again real proof!
Sunstein advocates that the Government's stealth infiltration should be accomplished by sending covert agents into "chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups." He also proposes that the Government make secret payments to so-called "independent" credible voices to bolster the Government's messaging (on the ground that those who don't believe government sources will be more inclined to listen to those who appear independent while secretly acting on behalf of the Government). This program would target those advocating false "conspiracy theories," which they define to mean: "an attempt to explain an event or practice by reference to the machinations of powerful people, who have also managed to conceal their role."
Sunstein is currently Obama's head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs where, among other things, he is responsible for "overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs."
Can't you answer a simple question?
legitimate proof!....

UCSD's Biotech Certificates Program is admired as the most advanced in the UC system.
Closer to the Heart of the San Diego 'Biotech Zone': The Program's Service Goals
The UCSD RA Program classes recently moved to the San Diego 'Biotech Zone'--into the same building as a major CRO, Parexel, and only blocks from another big CRO, Quintiles. Both CROs will contribute RA experts to classroom discussions of topics. Nearby are also the new headquarters of Novartis, represented on the Advisory Board of UCSD Biotech Certificates Programs, as is Invitrogen. Other Advisory Board members, Monsanto and Dow, together with its hometown subsidiary Mycogen, demonstrate regional strengths in agbiotech (which is expected to "absolutely boom" in the near future). The newest UCSD Certificate in Agricultural Biotech is under development, since the UCSD Biotech Certificates program aims to be comprehensive and progressive in service to all biotech sectors.

It (the recall of Hallmark/Westland Meat) highlights one of the problems that we have attempted to raise with the agency ever since 1996 when the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) inspection system was put in place. There seems to be too much reliance on an honor system for the industry to police itself. While the USDA investigation is still on going at Hallmark/Westland, a couple of facts have emerged that point to a system that can be gamed by those who want to break the law. It (HACCP) shifted the responsibility for food safety over to the companies .

...Question. Is USDA’s investigation of union president Stan Painter retaliatory?
Answer. USDA’s investigation into the validity of allegations that Specified Risk
Material (SRM) regulations are not being effectively carried out or properly enforced
was conducted solely to ensure the safety of our Nation’s food supply.
Question. Stan Painter, the president of the food inspectors union, set forth a se-
ries of concerns about SRM removal in a letter to the agency in early December.
I understand that FSIS has responded to the letter by launching a personal inves-
tigation of Mr. Painter. In January, for example, FSIS flew Mr. Painter to Wash-
ington DC and questioned him for 3 hours, to try to get him to divulge the sources
of his information. However, FSIS has a database of non-compliance reports, which
should document instances in which inspectors have reported non-compliance with
SRM removal.
Why has FSIS chosen to investigate Mr. Painter personally instead of addressing
the questions and concerns raised by his letter?
Answer. In a December 8, 2004, letter, the chairman of the National Joint Council
of Food Inspection Locals made unsubstantiated and non-specific allegations that
FSIS is not properly enforcing regulations requiring the removal of Specified Risk
Materials (SRMs) from beef products. Because of the serious nature of the allega-
tions contained in Mr. Painter’s Letter, FSIS immediately initiated an inquiry into
those allegations which included an informal interview of the union chairman. Dur-
ing that interview, Mr. Painter refused to provide specific information to support the
letter’s allegations. That inquiry subsequently resulted in a formal investigation by
FSIS to determine the validity of the allegations. As part of that investigation, Mr.
Painter was formally interviewed on two occasions in January. The FSIS investiga-
tion has been completed and the allegations concerning improper enforcement of
SRM regulations were not substantiated.....

As I said they are devious and have had their Foundation directed NGOs in place for decades with legions of brainwashed "Useful Idiots"
Hmm, so you don't except proof from Government source (senator] or from MSM (journalist)..
So exactly what will you accept as proof..??
Does God have to tell you or are you also an atheist?
